Reappropriating post-industrial sites for environmental remediation: the adaptive reuse of Hollinger Gold Mine in Timmins
… reuse of the Hollinger Gold Mine located in Timmins. The project revolves around a program anchored on urban agriculture, designed to counter the disassociation between the public and the process of remediation. Blurring the lines of public and private spaces, the project invites members of …

Nanoscale examinations on the sequestration of Cu by organic material in contaminated surface soils in Timmins, Ontario
… contaminated by mining related activity at the Timmins Kidd Creek metallurgical site, Canada. The sequestration and mobilization of Cu by organic material (OM) in the soil layer is investigated using focused ion beam (FIB) technology and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Copper occurs as …

Developing a Professional Working Theory Through Critical Reflection
… are demonstrated within my two main projects (Timmins 2002 page 131, Timmins 2005 page 298) and associated publications and international presentations. The process of my learning has been examined and professed through reflection upon these projects and subsequently analysed and presented in …

The Role of Epizootic Bovine Abortion Agent on Mule Deer Populations of the Mojave National Preserve in California and the Starkey Experimental Forest and Range in Oregon
Ticks, and the diseases they transmit play an important role in the health of wildlife and domestic animal populations. They can decrease the health of an animal through their effects on body condition and in extreme instances for survival (Merino et al. 2005). Ticks infesting deer populations …

Investigating the role of PKC-β in tumour activated stromal cells
Novel targeted therapies have substantially improved the prognosis of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) and other B-cell malignancies. However, a significant fraction of patients will relapse despite initial deep remissions. Studies have highlighted that the tumour microenvironment provides …

Tectono-hydrothermal evolution of the Neoarchean Abitibi greenstone belt, Canada
… exposures of the Timiskaming assemblage in the Timmins-Porcupine, Kirkland Lake, Duparquet, and Rouyn-Noranda mining camps. Microscopic investigations revealed that most quartz clasts have been affected by extensive recrystallization, hampering identification of the quartz origin. However, …

Trace Element Geochemistry of Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide Deposits in Archean Greenstone Belts: Implications for Metal Endowment and Geodynamic Settings
… rocks (e.g., Potter-Doal and Genex from Timmins, and East Sullivan and Dunraine from Val d'Or camps) are enriched in Cu (>5000 ppm), Co (>1500 ppm), Se (>4000 ppm), and Ni (>250 ppm), whereas pyrite from deposits associated with tholeiitic to calc-alkaline felsic rocks (e.g., …

Keeping above the waves? The response of coastal freshwater peatlands to sea-level rise
Global mean sea-level rise (SLR) is accelerating and is projected to continue for centuries across all emissions scenarios. With high emissions, we cannot rule out a rise of 15 m by 2300. Understanding coastal response to SLR is a priority for policymakers and land managers, but limited attention …

The Effects of Ocean Acidification on Multiple Life History Stages of the Pacific Oyster, Crassostrea gigas: Implications for Physiological Trade-offs
As global climate change accelerates, due in large part to increasing emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from fossil fuel use, agriculture, and large-scale changes in land use, natural ecosystems bear the consequences. For marine systems these include increased mean seawater …

Structural and functional studies of human ADAM 12 in myoblast fusion and Ebola virus VP40 in assembly
Part I:<br></br>ADAM 12 is a member of the growing ADAM protein family that displays a conserved domain organisation: a signal sequence, a pro-, a metalloprotease, adisintegrin, a cysteine-rich, a transmembrane and a cytoplasmic domain. ADAM proteins are found in higher eukaryotes and in most …

Topics in Hedonic Valuation
… (joint work with Kevin Haninger and Christopher Timmins). We exploit variation in space and time to deal with the potential bias in estimating MWTP due to unobservable variables that are correlated with both housing prices and site cleanup. Furthermore, there has been recent work showing that if …
